Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

Bushaway Road 150 Years – the Sesquicentennial…..…41 V. Bibliography …………………………………………….. 43 VI. Appendix: Petition to Annexation into Wayzata, 1956… 44 INTRODUCTION THE HISTORY OF BUSHAWAY ROAD AND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD documents the early history of the road and settlement of the neighborhood. The research was conducted and prepared by Irene Stemmer, of the Wayzata Heritage Preservation Board (HPB)1 as a means of preserving the history of the Bushaway Road and its neighborhood. We began with a history of the road. Thanks to Nancy Kehmeier, who located the original 1858 surveyor’s map of the “Shakopee to Dayton” road, we knew in 2008 that County Road 101 (Bushaway Road) was a 150 year old road. Unfortunately, just being 150 years old was not enough. Historian Bob Frame of Mead & Hunt reviewed the history of the road and deemed it ineligible for consideration as a “historic road” due to the changes over the years to the surface. So we stopped the presses and celebrated our 150 year old road.2 The next step was to document the history of the neighborhood. The Bushaway and West Holdridge land was annexed to Wayzata in 1956 which was after many of the early histories were written about our city, so where do you start? The starting point became the “Architectural History Evaluation of Locust Hills Estate by Andrew J.

Biographical sketches and portraits of the leaders in business, politics and the professions; together with an historical and descriptive sketch of the state http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.19129 Library of Congress It is a generally accepted proposition that the growth and development of any community along right lines depend more upon the character of its population that upon any other causes; and to a correct understanding of the forces which have contributed to the upbuilding of this commonwealth some knowledge of the men who have been instrumental in making Minnesota what it is, is necessary. The population of the state is increasing at a rapid rate and many thousands from other states and countries become residents every year, who are unfamiliar with its history and unacquainted with the men who have made that history. The purpose of this volume is to furnish a convenient and trustworthy source from which accurate knowledge of the history of the state may be obtained.

    Lakewood Cemetery A Self-Guided Tour ART AND ARCHITECTURE Between 1850 and 1930, many prominent architects and sculptors designed funeral monuments. Three styles were popular during the heyday of cemetery art: Classical Revival (a woman draped in flowing Grecian robes is typical), Egyptian Revival (the pyramid and obelisk) and Medieval Revival (hefty, round Romanesque lines or delicate detailed Gothic style). You will see many of the first two styles as well as countless one-of-a-kind monuments as you explore Lakewood.
